Indigenous scientist and bestselling author Robin Wall Kimmerer considers the possibility of economics based on natural principles and ethics of sharing.

In the pursuit of modernity and growth, human society has strayed far from the natural world.

We have reached a point where we can't imagine a world outside of market economics, but overconsumption and wealth accumulation have brought our planet to a tipping point. It's time for a change.

Robin Wall Kimmerer is a botanist, author, and member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation. She is best known for her 2013 bestseller, Braiding Sweetgrass.

In her 2024 book, The Serviceberry, Kimmerer looks at what plants can teach us about sharing and celebrating the gifts of nature.
